Спуститесь с небес на землю Come down from heaven to earth

Forget everything about what you read in reviews with a rating of 8-9-10. They were left either by the animators of the hotel, or by tourists who went abroad for the first time or were in 3 * and have no idea what the level of a 5 * hotel means.
In order. . .
We chose this hotel, guided by reviews, bribed the rating - 2nd place among Sharm hotels.
ROOM.

We didn't give money when we checked in, but they settled quickly. Was given a room near the pool. The room turned out to be a chic chicken coop from the time of perestroika. They asked a friend for 25 bucks and gave the same number. The furniture is old shabby, like the room, the front door with traces of forced entry with penetration. The bathroom is a separate noteworthy part of the chicken coop with cracked seams between the old tiles (namely tiles) with traces of fungus, the faucet with the shower head is old and rusty, the drain grate is rotten. Complete lack of shower gel and shampoo. Completed the picture non-working safe and air conditioning.
I went to the reception to argue. After some wrangling, they gave me a room closer to the main restaurant with a normal renovation, newer furniture and plumbing, and a working air conditioner. The safe didn't work, which was fixed the next day.
Cleaning in the room should be every day, sometimes they forget, so do not be lazy to hang a hanger please make up.
In the minibar 2 bottles of water + 2 cans of cola. The water was renewed almost every day, cola never . .
FOOD.
Menu + drinks are standard for 3 * hotels. The food is monotonous, with the absence of normal meat and seafood. Overdried mackerel and oil do not count. Fruits: melon, orange, sometimes watermelon. From drinks local gin, rum, whiskey, cognac, wine.
TERRITORY.
In general, small, green and well-groomed.
BEACH.
Standard Sharm coral reef, ie. swimming only from a pontoon, a gentle entry into the sea, as in Hurghada, is absent. For families with small children, this is a problem, for snorkelers, that's it. In general, the beach is clean and well-maintained, there are enough sunbeds for everyone (fortunately there are few tourists).
TOURISTS.
Late in the evening, when checking in, it seemed that there was no one in the hotel except us and the staff. In the morning there were a few tourists. Vskidku hotel populated by 30-40 percent. Ukrainians, Belarusians, Germans are the main contingent.
ANIMATION.
The guys are on top, it's fun with them all day. Separate respect to Rio: dude, you are a talent and a young man!
TOURS.
I don’t know, someone is still on excursions, which the Aneks guide at the hotel is steaming in three ways. I will say: guys, do not be stupid, outside the hotel in il merkato excursions are 3-4 times cheaper.

Shops at hotels are the same scam, it’s more profitable to buy in il merkato, but those who don’t know how to bargain won’t benefit much. Half an hour drive from the hotel there is a George Clooney shop, this is for those who do not want to bargain, where all prices are 3-4 times cheaper, already at a discount for tourists.
Main cons:
- old rooms
- mediocre food
Main advantages:
+ sea
+ animation
The crisis probably had a great impact, but the hotel is clearly not worthy of the 2nd place in the TOP and 4 * is the ultimate dream. Typical mediocre.
In general, I liked the rest at the hotel, everyone will find their own: whoever is looking for shit everywhere will find it, whoever tries to see the positive in everything, he will be satisfied.
P. S. : Nikola, hello to Moscow! The darts killer burns, tear them all, Elias is a young man, but the little German is not immortal))
